Sure. No need for --(experimental)-strip-types since I-forget-which-version, but I use Node.js 24.17 here.

  // ---- dev-ts-resolve.js
  export async function resolve(specifier, context, nextResolve) {
    try {
      return await nextResolve(specifier, context);
    } catch (err) {
      const isRelative = specifier.startsWith('./')
        || specifier.startsWith('../')
        || specifier.startsWith('/')
        || specifier.startsWith('file:');
      if (err?.code === 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND' && isRelative && specifier.endsWith('.js')) {
        return nextResolve(`${specifier.slice(0, -3)}.ts`, context);
      }
  
      throw err;
    }
  }
  // ---- dev-loader.js
  import { register } from 'node:module';
  
  register('./dev-ts-resolve.js', import.meta.url);
  // ----
usage:

  node --import ./dev-loader.js --watch-path=./src
moogly··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
I definitely started out typing out the plural, but thought I should temper my words a bit for some reason.

I don't doubt there are some, but GP made it sound like every European company and institution is working feverishly on it, which just cannot be true.

I transpile for prod, but use --strip-types when running in dev, and all I had to do was to make a 10-line ESM register hook that rewrites .js to .ts if the .js import fails, and then a one-liner import register trampoline script. Not sure I'd do that in prod, but works fine in dev at least.

This way I could just use node --watch instead of tsx or nodemon.

I call bullshit on the "very quickly" part there. It'll take a decade to phase out. And some don't seem interested at all (my employer for instance).
moogly··on Anthropic says Alibaba used 25k accounts to mine Claude
Far more ludicrous, that is.
moogly··on Anthropic has hired an economist with interesting views on human survival
This is just the same insane Effective Altruist slop we've heard before from the likes of SBF, et. al. Completely divorced from reality.

The "Abundist" movement is already dead.

Hmm, is this a thing for enterprise accounts too? My employer has gone all-in on Claude, but if I get a pop-up that requires me to give my ugly mug to a literal cardinal enemy of the human race Peter Thiel, then I will have to seriously consider switching jobs, because I have some of them silly principles.

Targeting and building Tauri apps for Wayland, specifically, is a massive headache due to assorted webkitgtk bundling/incompatibility madness.

Of course it is. It's literally the first provision in the MoU.

I think you mean unbelievably expensive and takes an eternity to build outside of China and Korea.

Imagine if he had approached it like, e.g. Bruce Dawson though, instead of coming off like an edgelord off his meds.
moogly··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
The demand just isn't there, which is one of the reasons SpaceX is pretending they will generate more demand with their cosmic wizard spires.
moogly··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
Seeing as billions upon billions of dollars goes into Israel's lobbying operations (including countless more from non-affiliated but pro-Israeli groups), that must be the least successful industry ever to be outclassed by a small number of random guys online.
moogly··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
There are three options:

1. Israel is doing this in an outsized way compared to everyone else

2. Israel is extremely poor at doing it because it keeps getting caught

3. All the reporting is controlled by the antisemitic media conglomerates ruled by a shadowy council funded by Qatari money

I expect you to deny 1, 2 is an impossibility to you, 3 is the most likely I'd hear even though it's highly reminiscent of something...

Looking forward to option 4. I hope it's something more original than shouting "blood libel!".

moogly··on Congress moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries
The staunchest antizionists tend to be Jews. Pretty sure there are more self-professed Christian zionists living in America than Jewish zionists too.

It behooves everyone to stop equating antizionism with antisemitism, because doing that actually breeds the latter.

Maybe. I am not convinced I type fewer keystrokes being a Markdown Monkey compared to writing code largely via autocomplete. Fewer Tab keystrokes, for sure.
